Petra resides in the beautiful but damp city of Portland, OR. During her relocation to the Pacific Northwest she got the idea that climbing mountains might the next necessary addition to her life. Through this blog she hopes to share the details of her mountaineering exploits and chronicle her (hopeful) success with the harebrained schemes she manages to concoct.
She currently climbs in the company of the Mazamas. She thanks them for enabling her to get through falls on the mountain with only a black eye and for helping her conquer (or work on conquering) her fear of steep snow fields and multipitch climbing.
She enjoys dinosaurs, brightly colored hair, IPAs, spending time with her cross-eyed Siamese, baking vegan summit treats, and cultivating hobbies that involve a high risk of personal injury.

Just read your blog, very cool stuff. I’ve been climbing for a while and have actually been considering getting some certification. Anywhere you know of in Canada that offers similar programs to yours in Oregon?
Happy climbing.
